THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! From the start of the journey, Bilbo is desperate to be back in his home. Later he earns confidence from saving the dwarves multiple times. Main Character The main character of "The Hobbit" is Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is shy and not very fond of adventures. The type of conflict taking place is Man vs. Nature Personal Connection When Bilbo climbed the Lonely Mountains, he reminded me of my brother when we were climbing a cliff in Big Bend, Texas: mostly whiny. Three main events: 1. Dwarves and Gandalf talk to Bilbo and drag him along. 2. Meet hungry trolls, first predicament Bilbo and the dwarves fall in. 3. Smaug is dead and the hesitantly dwarves share the recovered treasure with the people of Dain and the elves. Personal Connection It relates to my life because I've been to many different places with caves, mountains, and other places the book reminds me of.
